Name the Switch successor: what should Nintendo call its new console?

switch2.jpg

Nintendo has officially announced that a successor to the beloved Switch console is on the horizon. As we eagerly anticipate what innovations this new device will bring, there's one fun piece of the puzzle left undecided: its name.

The name of a console is more than just a label; it's the first impression, a brand identity, and often, a crucial element in its success or failure. Think back to the Nintendo Wii, which despite its unusual name, revolutionized gaming with its motion controls and family-friendly appeal. On the flip side, we have the Wii U, whose name caused quite a bit of confusion and didn't resonate as well with the audience.

This is where you come in! Nintendo has always been about innovation and community, and what better way to honor that spirit than by inviting you, the fans, to help name the next generation console? Whether you think it should be something classic like the "Switch 2" or something more creative like "Super Switch Ultra Deluxe" we want to hear your most creative and catchy ideas. Don't hold back—post your naming ideas in the comments below. Feel free to upvote the names you love, and why not add your twist to someone else’s suggestion?

Why are 99% of people assume that it will be called Switch *something* ? Don't you think Nintendo learnt their lesson with the Wii U?

Only problem with that is abbreviated it means "no strings attached" lmao.
Honestly, the issue is still there if it's named Switch Attach or Nintendo Switch Attach ... :ninja:

That's because people do understand that the Playstation 5 is different from the Playstation 4. Same for Xbox (to an extent because their names are terrible). You can still name the next console the « Switch something », just gotta be more than a single letter

I fucking love the Ai-generated looking console you used LMFAO. I think a good name would be the Switch Attach. I remember hearing that on a Youtube questionnaire back then, and I personally believe that would be a good name.

It's either that, or the NX.
calling it now it will be something stupid like the Swiitch with two is and not one to be "in with the memers" which is dad levels of cringe.

It never occurred to me before, but the reason the Wii successor was called the Wii U and not Wii 2 is because it would be "Wii ni" in Japanese... If you thought the Wii was made fun of, imagine how "Nintendo Weenie" would fare.
